“Thank you Megan & Jenny! I needed to board my dog for one night with short notice and Megan & Jenny were able to board him. They responded quickly to my request and communicated with texts and photos during my dog's stay. My dog looked happy and it seems like he was well cared for. I will be contacting Megan & Jenny again for dog sitting and boarding.”
“First time using Rover and we were very happy! We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands, and got updates daily. We were nervous about our dog trying to slip out the front door in a new environment, but Rob's gated entryway put us at ease.”
“Zach was great, provided pictures and updates. We also did a quick meet and greet prior to the stay and it made me feel comfortable leaving Bentley with him. I would definitely recommend Zach and would use him again.”
“Maria and Kevan are wonderful!! They made our dog feel at home and I love all the photo updates I get from them. They’re very sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend them to any pup.”
“Thanks to Josh for a wonderful stay! Django looked like he had a great time and seemed right at home with Josh. They say that dogs can sense great humans when they interact with them, and I can tell Josh is definitely a great guy who loves dogs. Highly recommend :)”
“Spunky did a trial overnight stay and Joann was super sweet and welcoming! I got regular updates, photos, and could tell that my dog was truly comfortable and well cared for.”
“Anchisa is amazing! She is kind and attentive and took wonderful care of our Frenchie while boarding her. Bella is wary of new people and places, but warmed up very quickly to Anchisa and was happy and comfortable with her in no time, due to Anchisia’s warm, loving, and calm demeanor. We will absolutely be requesting her services again!”
“Ulunma was a dream come true! My dog was happy to temporarily become part of her family. Ulunma was very responsive to communication from me and regularly sent me pictures of my dog. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog was in great hands. I will surely use her again!”
“Jessie and Cade were an absolute thrill to work with from beginning to end. From booking, to a meet and greet, to the pictures and videos we received during our dogs stay, Jessie made me feel extremely comfortable that our pup was in very capable and caring hands.”
“Didem was so welcoming and kind! Dexter is definitely a little shy at first but she let him sniff around and get himself comfortable. She was very patient with him and he seemed like a happy and content guy when I picked him up. Thank you, Didem!”
“Nova loves staying with Ruthy! When they first met, Nova was hesitant to hop in the car with her. Now she jumps right in, ready to spend the day together and hang out with her new friends. I'm sure she is already looking forward to her next visit. :)”
“Charlene is so wonderful. She took in our senior rescue with stitches at the last moment. She provided excellent care to our pup AND to us, and I will always be grateful. I highly highly recommend Charlene!”
“Robyn and her family were wonderful care takers for Bisky while we were out of town. We had to stay longer than expected and Robyn purchased extra food and was happy to extend the stay. Her home and back yard were paradise for the little guy. She sent photos frequently which were appreciated! Marta Hall”
“Jakree took such great care of Lisa, and I could tell she loved staying with him. He sent check-ins and photos throughout her stay, which made me feel so much better being away from my baby. Seeing how happy and comfortable she was gave me real peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the care he gave her and would definitely book with him again.”
“Our dog came back very happy from Iryna's stay. She has a dog of similar size to ours so I think that also helped provide great company for our dog when we were away. Plenty of space inside and out for them to be themselves. Thank you!”
“Joseph was amazing. His home is welcoming and spacious. He has a backyard, which Deno loves an open space to be able to chill and be nosy as he is. I most definitely will be taking Deno back when I go on another trip”
“Hope was recommended to us by another great Rover sitter, and we are really grateful. Hope is so friendly and knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior. She made Coconut comfortable immediately. Her little dog Rocky is adorable and super friendly. Coconut loved going for walks and playing with Rocky's toys. Hope was great with sending text updates as well as photos and videos. Here's hoping Hope doesn't get too busy to have room for Coconut the next time we need her!”
“It was our first time rover-ing with our new dog so we were a little nervous but they took great care of Francine! It’s clear that they are dog lovers and made Francine feel right at home. We got a ton of pictures and they even helped coordinate pick up with a friend of ours while we were still out of town. Highly recommend!”

“Lucy was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative throughout the entire booking—quick to respond and always kept us updated with the cutest photos. She followed all instructions carefully, and my cat HaoHao was happy and well cared for. We felt at ease knowing Lucy was looking after her. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Great job, our pets and their space was well take care of! Before we left, Megan & Jenny R were collaborating with us on how to provide the best care, and stayed in touch during their visits.”
“Alyssa is the BEST! Took such amazing care of my two girls and received pictures and updates multiple times a day! But most importantly, she got my two incredibly shy cats to come out of hiding (which, truly, no sitter has ever been able to do before)!”
“Cathy was great with our cats. She’s an animal person who takes pride in her work and understands how quirky cats can be. Our kitty needs medication and we are so glad she was able to be there to make sure he got his needs met. Thank you, Cathy!”
“Bryanna was A-MAZ-ZING. she sent me multiple updates a day along with photos and videos. My kitty can get sad and low energy when I travel, so it was so nice to see her engage burger with playtime and toys! My house was super clean after she left so will 100% be hiring Bryanna again!”
“Rachel did an amazing job taking care of my 2 kitties. One is quite shy so she gave me updates on his whereabouts, while the other is extremely friendly and I got loads of cute photo updates on him. Appreciate her taking this request last minute! Would absolutely book again! Thanks!!!”
“Eleanna took wonderful care of our kitty while we were away! She provided detailed updates and pictures, and we came home to a happy and healthy cat. Would 100% book with her again!”
“Meli, was super responsive and flexible. We enjoyed meeting her for a quick walk through before our trip. Our cat is typically a scaredy cat and runs away from strangers, but she was curious and open to meet Meli. I think her calming presence put her at ease. We have a regular sitter but she wasn’t available and we had to scramble last minute. Meli was a great surprise. Would book again if needed.”
“Maricruz kindly stepped in to cover a day caring for our cats while we were gone! She communicated openly, was careful to follow what I’d asked, and she got one of our shy cats to come out and say hi 🙂 Thank you Maricruz!”
“We really lucked out finding Haylee to watch after our kitten Benji while out of town. She was super easy to talk to and her ahold of if needed. Would def rebook next time we need her for Benji! Thanks again”
“Even when I was halfway around the world from our cat Sassy, I truly appreciate how Maggie helped put both me and my wife at ease. Updates arrived like clockwork, full of slow blinks and play. I can see that Sassy was truly happy, and it goes to show how great Maggie is at what she does. She even took care of day-to-day things around the house! Top marks all the way.”
“Suzanne took great care of my two cats, including giving medication twice per day and making sure the boys had a lot of different play opportunities. I’d have no concerns booking Suzanne again!”
“Melina did such a great job drooping in and feeding my elderly cat, Momo. She was prompt with timing and sent lots of pictures and updates. I could tell that Momo really liked her 🥰 would definitely recommend Melina to anyone!!”
“Vania was so sweet with our 8 mo old puppies! We felt at ease during our travels. She took them on long walks and even gave them a bath since the days were quite warm. Thank you again Vania!”
“Sage was amazing with our two kitties while we were on vacation! Even our shy boy warmed up to them, which is saying a lot! Sage even helped water our plants and clean the litter boxes. Coming home to a clean house and happy kitties was the best feeling. We will definitely be reaching out to Sage for future cat sitting needs :)”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“If you're anything like me, the guilt of being away at work all day weighs on me, but knowing that instead, my fur-baby is now getting tons of attention, pets, walks, and love puts my mind at ease. Getting cuddles from Van Joseph and Matthew, the company of their sweet little dogs, and soft blankets to sleep in is priceless! I got so many precious photos which brightened my day! Overjoyed to have found Van Joseph and Matthew to care for my sweet girl Petunia!!”
“Anthony was one of the best dogsitters I’ve connected with through Rover. He has been super clear with communication, very flexible/accommodating of Fluffy’s needs and my schedule, and most importantly, took super good care of Fluffy. She’s a high maintenance dog that barks a lot, but I could tell immediately that Anthony is very confident in taking care of all kinds of dogs in all situations.”
“Lily is a wonderful sitter that loves my dog as if she were her own! I would definitely reach out to Lily if I need care for Nyxie again. You will not regret asking her to care for your beloved pup ❤️ Thanks so much Lily!”
“Tamara is wonderful with my pup. She’s flexible which works great with my schedule. Ruby loves going to her & her dog Finn. We’re happy to be repeat customers.”
“Ruthy is the best! Huey goes to the dog park multiple times a day and is socializing with the other dogs all day. He comes home tired, happy and hungry. Thank you ruthy!! ”
“Chrystal was very receptive and understanding of the needs for my old husky girl. Actually, she confirmed that my dog was very sweet with people, mainly herself and her family. Crystal was able to work and stay with my dog as I mentioned was desirable as my dog has had separation issues. It looks like my dog was taken very good care of and I appreciate it.”
“This was the first time I brought Charcoal with Rosa, she is kind and at the end of each day it was seen that Charcoal had been comfortable. Rosa answered messages quickly and sent photos of our dog. Of course I would take Charcoal with her again. She also speaks Spanish which was a plus.”
About: I've always loved dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that's going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I know every dog has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they're comfortable and cared for the way they're used to. I work from home three times a week which gives me more time to care for pups. This is something that allows me more flexibility with care needs. I do not have any other pets in the home which allows your pet to have all my attention, therefore meeting whatever need they may have.
“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”
“Alejandra is the best! She took such good care of MoMo and sent me photos & updates throughout the day. This is my 3rd booking with her and my trust in her grows each time - Tysm Alejandra!”
About: I've taken care of many dogs from chihuahua's, poodle mixes, corgi's and pointers. I have the most experience with small dogs but would love to take care of your large pups too! I have experience caring for and feeding medication to senior dogs from Muttville in San Francisco and lived and cared for a very anxious corgi for two years so have a lot of experience navigating and understanding when a dog needs space. I cannot wait to meet your pup! I'm starting grad school in late august so have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available weekdays and weekends for now and will update my schedule once school is back in session. I have a small fenced in yard if the pup needs a quiet enclosed area to play in. I have experience crating anxious corgis and giving medication and am willing to follow any rules you have to ensure good training and safety for your dog. Ultimately, I just want you and your pet to be comfortable!
“Tobie had another wonderful stay with Michelle and Mandar. They have a great set up with a yard to play in and he gets lots of love and cuddles. I really appreciated the photo and video updates that Michelle sent throughout the day. They are a very nice family and they show lots of care and attention to the pups that stay with them. We look forward to a return visit!”
“She was incredibly patient and caring with my puppy. Since he hasn’t completed all of his vaccinations yet, she was able to accommodate him by only watching one dog at a time, which gave me great peace of mind. She regularly sent me photos and updates, so I always knew how he was doing. She also helped with his potty training and was very attentive to his needs. I could tell she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and responsible dog sitter! I will definitely rebook her if needed in the future! Thanks Yan!”
“Thank you so much for being able to take in Ozzy and Sansa so last minute. They seem to have had a great time and were really excited when they got to come back for a second day!”
“Chriz was so great with our senior boy! I was a little worried leaving Elvis since he was recovering from an ulcer but she provided updates and was able to follow his medication schedule. She's very caring and Elvis seemed to warm up to her quickly and was at ease when he normally can be a little anxious in new environments. Thankful to find a sitter like Chriz!”
“Terrific! Last minute booking, Brooke was dependable and willing! She was great with my dogs; relaxed, knowledgeable, and kind! Dogs were happy and well cared for, thank you Brooke! I will definitely rebook with Brooke!”
“Such an amazing visit. Hudson had a blast and burned so much energy playing with oscar, he barely had the energy to make it home! ? Iryna provided frequent updates with pics throughout the day so we always knew what the little dude was up to. We will definitely be booking again!!”

“Sarah was amazing! Great communication, punctual , & seems extremely knowledgeable about pets. We have a rambunctious pup & she was even working with her on her walking skills. I will absolutely be using her again.”
“Eleanna is great! Her experience with dogs is obvious. I can tell she is confident and knowledgeable. She is also compassionate and I feel completely safe having her take care of my dog who gets a little nervous out there in the real world. I’m so grateful that I have met her and will call her back many times. Thanks!”
“Iryna is great! She was very willing to meet with me and my dog before booking. And she was very reassuring and understanding of having a stranger take care of my dog. She made sure to take pictures and update me on everything with my dog everyday !”
About: I have had my own sweet pup for over 14 years. Assisted heavily during some of the major fires in northern California over the years, working with several professional animal rescue teams. Love dogs of all shapes and sizes just out here hoping to help as many pups as possible. Recently relocated to the Bay Area & while looking for my next full time opportunity decided to lean into some of my passions. Dogs being #1! If I can do that through this app while bringing in a little cash on the side, what could be better? Currently available full time. I’m very active so love taking walks. (My senior dog has slowed down so I’m missing a walking buddy.) I do have a small fenced backyard with grass. Our house is very dog friendly.
About: I have over 6 years of experience as a cat & dog owner. Raised my own dog from a puppy (she’s now a happy 3-year-old Corgi!) and cared for two cats for several years also. I’m well versed in everything from high energy puppy play to the quiet, patient approach many cats prefer. I also have experience fostering dogs with complex behavioral needs, like those struggling with 'stranger danger' and anxiety. I know that building trust takes time & a calm presence. I take care of mine, and others’ furbabies as if they were my own children. As a college student that has classes online, my schedule can be quite flexible. I am happy & willing to work with clients to best help with what they need. Safety is super important to me (as it should be) because I understand you are entrusting me with basically your child. I am very attentive & vigilant. Always keeping an eye on your pet to make sure they are safe, and they’re surroundings are safe for them.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I currently have a dog of my own and understand just how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. When I moved my dad to California so I could become his full-time caregiver, bringing his dog with us was never a question. He’s an important part of our family and daily life. I previously had another beloved dog from the age of 13 through 27, giving me experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. I’m comfortable providing patient, attentive care and making sure each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. As someone who genuinely loves animals, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own dog, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention are already built into my schedule. Because I have a flexible schedule right now, I’m able to provide pets with extra attention, companionship, and care throughout the day rather than just fitting them in between other commitments. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or keeping a pet company while their owner is away, I enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household rules. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while their owners are away. For walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure each pet’s individual needs are met. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and help them feel secure. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.
“Haylee is so good with animals! She took the time to let my nervous dogs warm up to her before attempting to leash and walk them. She is very in tune with animal energy which is what I need for my two!! Will definitely book again.”
“Sydney was incredible with our Waldo! Our pup often walks better with another doggy friend, and Sydney was open and flexible with scheduling a meet up for our dogs in advance of the week I desperately needed some dog walking help. She included lots of photos & updates and was reliable. My dog always seemed her happiest self when I got home after a long day. 10/10 would book again!!!”
“Another successful walk! Echo seems to have fully warmed up to Laura. She was able to take over the leash and we had a chill walk around a local park. Will definitely try some house sitting in the near future.”
About: I’m a huge animal lover and used to run a grooming salon/daycare and hotel. As a former cat mom, I know how important a good sitter is! If my calendar doesn’t show the day you need, please reach out because it could be a booking error. I look forward to meeting you! I am currently working on Rover only so I will coordinate my routine around your pet’s care. I’m available every day, any times you need! I have a spacious home in a safe neighborhood. We have two beautiful gardens for quick breaks and are nearby parks for more space if needed.
About: Hi! While celebrating the milestone of earning my Master’s degree, I traveled to the East Coast this summer and during my trip I pet sat for a friend in NYC while she was traveling in Europe, and I loved it! I miss those fur babies so much that I signed up on Rover as soon as I got home. I’m looking forward to providing check-ins, socializing, and caring for furry friends while I enjoy my newfound freedom! 🙂 I currently have a flexible and open schedule! Please let me know what works best for you to accommodate you and your pet’s needs I welcome specific instructions, am not afraid to ask questions, and will happily provide picture updates so you can have peace of mind. I will always treat your home and space with respect.
“Sage is literally the best! They are so sweet to our puppy dog, Bonita! They are extremely communicative, thoughtful, and very reliable. They have been an invaluable asset to our family and Bonita loves them so much (as well as their doggie, Doobie)! Highly recommend for your pets needs :)”
About: Hi, I’m Austin – a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve been looking after dogs since I was 12, and it’s more than just a job to me—it’s a way of life. I know every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at ease. Whether your dog’s full of energy or a little shy like my own pup Lady, I’m all about meeting them where they’re at. You can count on me for dependable, compassionate care—and plenty of tail wags. Also, I can teach your dog how to shake within an hour (: I currently work from home and part time as I have my own business that I passively run with a lot of help from my manager. So I have plenty of time for your pets and my own pup I offer a calm, secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home. My house has plenty of space for them to roam inside, plus a large fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and fresh air. I always supervise backyard time and tailor the day to match your dog’s energy level and needs. If your pup is crate-trained or needs a quiet space to unwind, I’ve got clean, comfortable crates available. Safety is my top priority—I keep a close eye on each dog and never take on more pets than I can give proper attention to. You can trust that while you’re away, your dog will be in a safe, loving, and well-managed space.
About: We promise your pup will have a great time with us- a daily run, evening stroll, plus unlimited attention from our seven year old daughter! We also have a four-year-old lab mix (Boston) who is great with other dogs and will be happy to have a playmate. We work from home and walk our dog regularly. we'd be happy to take your dog along too. Plus, there are great parks nearby, and I head up to the Oakland hills several days a week. Our home is ideal for dogs, as we have a fully fenced in backyard with plenty of space to run around. Inside, the dogs are welcome to cuddle up on the couch with us and generally be underfoot no matter what we're up to. During weekends, it is common for us to go on longer hikes and take the dogs. On weekdays, we work from home, which means the dogs can hang out where they please, and get plenty of walks throughout the day. We work from home, and our dog wants a playmate! We will let the dogs out to the fenced backyard whenever they like, and always take numerous trips around the block to stretch the legs out. Given that we wake up early to run and start working from home, we prefer drop offs and pickups to be generally between 8:00am and 6:00pm. We have a fenced yard and Boston is a great playmate. Typically the dogs like to be underfoot for most of the day, which is fine as we are working away on our computers. I like to do at least one longer walk/run during the day, or a hike in the Oakland Hills in the afternoon.

“This was my first time using Rover, and Kristiina was awesome. She shared videos and pictures and gave me a brief update everyday. I knew my dog was happy and having a great time. Also the fact that she has a large open wonderful dog park literally across the street made it a no-brainer that he'd be able to go to the bathroom frequently and have good interactions with dogs. Lastly, in general she's got a really good nature you can tell she's great with dogs.”
“Our golden retriever, Lucy, had a wonderful time with Kimberly and her family while we were away. Communication was great and we were relieved to have her in such good hands. We'd definitely book again!”
About: I previously worked at a dog shelter, where I interacted with a range of pups (different breeds, sizes, and needs). From that shelter I adopted my special little (45lbs) girl who was not dog friendly and who needed a certain structure on her walks. As the years went her needs changed, and in March 2026 we lovingly said goodbye, and she crossed the rainbow bridge. What I have taken with me in my many years of experience, and stress to all clients, is that each dog has their needs and each pet parent has learned what is best for their pup. So if that's to spin around 3 times with their food to make sure they eat, or avoid eye contact to help them feel comfortable, or to greet them just outside of their home because they pee with excitement, then that's exactly what I do. (Two of these 3 things are indeed real life doggy needs I've done to accommodate the pup!) I understand the need for shorter walks for seniors, training for puppies, medications at certain times for special cases etc. I have no judgement against muzzles and I know from my own experience that's usually an indication of a careful owner, ensuring their family member is safe. (My baby used to wear a muzzle to the pet store and the vet to ensure she and those around were cared for). I will ask many questions about the routines, to ensure that your family member is the happiest they could possibly be! I currently work full time, however I now that my pup is gone, I have some time to help others. I have some weekend availability, and in November and December will have more time! (As I will not be working those months) I can easily take care of your pup in your home. However I also have an apartment that can host your pup. I have a dog proof apartment but would need to do a few things to make it puppy proof (which I am happy to do so!) I do have a crate, so if they are crate trained that's wonderful! But no big deal if not. The apartment does have a yard, but it is not fenced in, so more likely we would be on leash when outside and we would go to the park near by (not dog park though).
“First experience with Rover and it was awesome. Tamara was very accommodating per our last minute request. Great communication despite our lack of phone signal. Updates with photos and video reassured us that Coda was having a great time.”
